Apparently Bob Dylan had intercourse with, and simultaneously is, KF's wife.

Discuss.

If only.

I am skeptical until there is visual, audio, and preferrably smellable proof.

People are constantly saying that cinema is dead, the short story is dead, the novel is dead, the comic strip is dead, the sitcom is dead, blah blah fucking blah.

Does anyone ever bother to say music is dead?

I think I've said that before, but it was a phase, I think. The White Stripes convinced me that music was still good.

The internet is dead.

Oh, yeah. I remember that phase.

I can't say I care much about music these days, but I recognize that's really just a phase.

Music genres are dead but music will never be dead. For instance Jazz is dead. There's no way to be inventive in Jazz anymore.

As for top albums of the year, though I haven't yet gone through the lists yet to make my own, currently my favorite album of the year is

Nine Inch Nails -- Year Zero

another which will easily be in my top five will be

Galactic -- From The Corner to the Block

If any of you want to listen to Hip Hop artists with a new orleans style band behind them, that cd is for you.

There are millions of ways to be inventive in any genre of music, so long as the audience doesn't compartmentalize genre into strictly defined genreboxes (thus becoming afraid to experience new things), and so long as the artist doesn't adhere to the "definitions" of genre. Just recently I was turned on to a compilation of new jazz artists called, Money Will Ruin Everything, and trust me, there is plenty of room to innovate within the "jazz" genre.

This. Is. Awesome.

Robert Fripp to music industry, "suck it!"

Where is the RIAA when one of their own breaks copyright law? Oh that's right, rules are for us, not them, silly me!

And speaking of Fripp and King Crimson, I had no idea you could order all kinds of live performances straight from them!

Haven't gotten to listen to too much outside of the more mainstream stuff from this year as of yet. But right now, my favourite albums from the year are probably:

1. Kanye West - Graduation
2. Radiohead - In Rainbows
3. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
4. Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
5. Rufus Wainwright - Release The Stars

Reading this thread has reminded of a lot of stuff I still need to check out. Except for M.I.A., because there is nothing in any of her music I have found to be anything other than nauseating.

....5. Rufus Wainwright - Release The Stars

I wasn't aware that Rufus had a new album out. How does it compare with his previous efforts? I was somewhat underwhelmed by Want Two.

I haven't heard Poses or the Wants in their entirety in a while, but listening to Release The Stars (especially the first time) I can't help but feel that it may be his best work to date.

Wow. I may need to check it out then. Thanks!

There is a new Twin Peaks soundtrack out. It's music from the second season and more. It is very good.

Tickets to Puffy AmiYumi this Sunday...won through Vancouver's multicultural channel!

At least the fact that it's at a bar should cut down on the amount of 12 yr old Teen Titans fans in attendance.

I recently got my tix to Built to Spill, The Black Lips, SY playing Daydream Nation and Low playing Things We Lost in the Fire.

Sweet, got some nice tickets. First time for me at a seated show.

**Llopin** · 11-10-2007, 06:40 PM

The other day I attended a Damon and Naomi show. Something I was meaning to do for a long time, since I'm a mangorrinic Galaxie500 fan and had never seen any of its members live. They played in a quiet, intimate theater, which fit perfectly their brutally fragile and kinda cathartic music, and afterwards I got to talk to them (and also Michio Kurihara, whose coolness I shall not remind you of) and they gave me a setlist... yay.

That was great. But even better was experimenting Ornette Coleman and his excellent band play one hour and a half of fresh, mindblowing jazz (which is far off from being dead). Beautiful is the word. How can this man give off these blasts of youth and innovation, these days, it's just so wonderful. Before leaving, he thanked us all for being there, and commented on how he hoped eternity would become "human", forever. I'll never forget that. That night.

Events coming up: Julie Doiron, High on Fire (+ Pelican), Library Tapes, Explosions in the Sky.

By the by, Polvo will be playing at ATP next year. Drooling, I am.

**Justin** · 12-04-2007, 08:15 PM
